I cannot thank my hairstylist enough for the incredible job she did on my hair for my wedding. It was a last-minute decision to change my hairstyle on the big day, and I was filled with anxiety about how it would turn out. However, she listened to my vision and transformed my hair into exactly what I had dreamed of. The attention to detail and her skill were evident as she crafted a stunning look that perfectly complemented my dress.

From the first time meeting her at the trial, she put me at ease, listened to my wants and don’t wants , and completely nailed the vision I had with little inspo pictures to go from in terms of my makeup. I was very particular about my eyebrows and she worked her magic and they never looked better ! Hazel was such a good sport during a hectic wedding morning. I was told by other hairstylist the look I wanted for my hair couldn’t be done due to the heaviness and surplus of hair I have , but she KILLED IT !!!! She is kind, funny and so very talented! 20/10!

Our signature Hydroblending Technique combines lightweight hydration with flawless coverage, giving you breathable, long-lasting makeup that feels like skin just smoother, softer, and more luminous. You’ll still feel like you, only more polished and photo-ready.

    I got my makeup done for my wedding and booked on faith because I live out of state but came for a beach wedding. I am a prior makeup artist but I wanted to relax on my big day. I was beyond nervous to have someone else do my makeup because I know what I like. Izzy was amazing with communication and booking and got me in only a few weeks before my wedding after my makeup artist from a different company canceled on me. Ally did mine and 5 of my bridesmaids makeup and it was to die for. I got my makeup done at 7 in the morning and it still looked fresh at 10pm. Everyone complimented my makeup throughout the day and said I looked fresh out of a bridal magazine. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ALLY! She constantly checked in to make sure I was loving my makeup and quickly made the only adjustment I wanted. Book here, you won’t be disappointed!

    I had both my makeup and hair done by Anastasia, and it was truly an incredible experience. Her team also worked with my mom, my sister, and two of my friends. Everyone arrived on time, and the atmosphere was so cozy and relaxed — it felt like getting ready with close friends. Before the wedding, I did a trial session where we discussed everything in detail and made a few final adjustments. On the big day, I felt absolutely beautiful. What I loved the most is that Anastasia has a very modern style — her hairstyles are contemporary and elegant, and her makeup is fresh and natural. My makeup lasted perfectly all day long without feeling heavy on my skin. I still looked like myself — just enhanced, glowing, and confident. The hair was absolutely stunning: it stayed flawless the entire day, but at the same time felt soft and flexible — no stiff hairspray buildup, no heavy, uncomfortable feeling. I changed my look three times during the day — from soft waves to an elegant updo — and Anastasia stayed by my side through every transition, helping and supporting me. Honestly, her style is simply the best. As a model, I’ve worked with many stylists before, but this experience was truly on another level. The quality of her work, her attention to detail, and the way she made me feel — I haven’t encountered anything like this in a very long time. It was an unforgettable experience, and I’m so grateful I chose her!

From day 1, I felt like I was in good hands for my wedding hair and make up. The team was willing to make things work - however I needed them to work! For example, we didn't know at first if we would get ready at the salon or my venue but I was able to talk things out with Michelle and we came up with an action plan to get everybody ready in time! I was able to have a few of our close family members get hair and make up done with us, because the salon had all hands on deck for my wedding day! It was great working with everybody and I am so thankful for how easy they made this process! My hair and make up held up ALL night long and I felt so beautiful!! Thank you all :)

I also needed someone who could listen to me, my needs and those of my party to help us all look and feel our best. Rie delivered and more! From planning the day and on our trial, Rie was very kind, open to suggestions and creative when it came to my vision. She was patient to try out the different hair dos I wanted to sample. On the day, she amped up her talent and made me look even more beautiful than when she met me for a trial. Even my FIL thought so! You know it’s real when men notice! Haha. She also took care of my mother, who is hard to please, but was able to say good things about her hair and make up that same day too. Overall what a beautiful experience. I kind of want to get married again just to be able to redo the whole beautification and process! And of course that is only possible with Rie. Many thanks Rie!!! Pics from Nathalie Garcia

    Brooklyn, NY
    • Starts at $400

    I’ve been creating Glam and natural Bridal looks for over 3 years and learning the latest trends with makeup in New York. What started as a hobby led me to launch my business as a freelance makeup artist three years ago and I’ve since been certified by Lauren D’amelio, Kryolan Cosmetics and twelve international artists from The Makeup Lovers Conference. I also work with editorial clients creating daring yet on brand looks. I have an upcoming project to execute the makeup vision for an ad campaign in Times Square for ShopYahaira Shapewear. Make sure to look out for it!

    Maria Pennacchi Makeup was an absolute pleasure to work with for my daughter's wedding day. Maria was very quick in responding to any questions that we had and was accommodating to making sure she gave us enough time to work with us that morning. She is so easy to talk to and listened when you wanted to add or change something. Maria's quality of work was outstanding - she applied our makeup very naturally and lighter so that there was room for changes. The makeup lasted throughout the entire day and wedding, and Maria made us look extra special. As an extremely experienced makeup artist, she really listens to what you want to look like for your special day. Maria made this experience with getting our makeup done a joyful one.

    I had an absolutely fabulous experience working with Sophia for hair and makeup for my wedding on August 3rd, 2025. I don't normally wear a lot of makeup, but during my trial, Sophia did an excellent job working with my inspiration photos and talking with me about my vision to come up with a look that felt natural and still 'myself' , while still being elevated and giving me the coverage I needed for the big day. She was supportive and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. She was professional and prepared, and she even showed up early on the day of my wedding, helping to keep us on schedule for the busy morning. My mother, mother-in-law, and bridal party members who also got their hair and makeup done with Sophia LOVED their looks, and they all commented on how nice Sophia was to chat with during their services. I can't recommend Sophia enough for bridal hair and makeup!

    About wedding beauty professionals

    How much does hair and makeup cost for a wedding?

    According to Thumbtack, wedding makeup artists cost $90–$475 per person on average in 2022. Here at Zola, we recommend putting aside around $300 for your own wedding hair and makeup. Services for wedding party members are generally less expensive, as the artist or stylist will spend less time perfecting the look. Be sure to have a transparent conversation with your wedding party if you expect them to cover their own costs.

    How long does wedding hair and makeup take to do?

    The more involved the look, the more time it will take. In general, allocate 60–90 minutes for your own looks and 30–45 minutes for each member of the wedding party. Extensions, extra thick hair, and intricate makeup all take longer. Communicating who (with pictures and descriptions) is getting what (again, with photos) to your stylists will help them plan an accurate timeline.

    Who usually pays for hair and makeup for the wedding party?

    Traditionally, whoever is asking for the services should pay. However, this may not be in the budget for every couple. If you’re planning on having your wedding party pay, be transparent when you first ask them to be in the wedding party itself. Then, they can choose whether it’s possible for them to participate.

    How much should we tip for our wedding hair and makeup artists?

    A good rule of thumb is to tip 15–20%.
